Hello everyone! Zak Ludick here from Cape Town, South Africa and this is a Warhammer 40k - The Great Unit Review Wheel! post!

Now known as the Unit Review Library!

What is it all about? It is not there to just give a stat. It is there to give MY review of the unit!

In this series, I will review one unit at a time, picking them randomly.

So let me spin the wheel again and see what I get:

Thousand Sons, Exalted Sorcerer

10th Edition Index

Right, back to my mortal enemies, the Thousand Sons.

This Chaos army is all about sorcery and this is a sorcerer... so he should be quite powerful.

100pts for a single model
£37.50 for a box of 3 Sorcerors, one of them can be on a Disc of Tzeetch, which is a review for another day as it is a different datasheet! This box would cost 151.78 HIVE at current prices.

Let's check those stats!

Stats

Movement 6"
Toughness 4
Save 3+/4++(armor/invul/Feel No Pain)
Wounds 5
Ld 6+
OC 1

Weapons

The Exalted Sorcerer has one Psychic attack and a choice of 3 different pistols:

Ranged:
Astral Blast - 18" Range, D6 Shots, Hitting on 2+, S6 AP-3 Damage D3 each.
Blast, Devastating Wounds. This weapon does not have the pistol keyword so the Exalted Sorcerer cannot fire both a pistol and Astral Blast.

This pistols are either a bolt pistol with AP -1, a plasma pistol or a hand flamer... I would probably... not really worry. Warpflame pistol or Plasma pistol.

Melee:

A choice of two different weapons.

Force weapon
5 Attacks, Hitting on 2+, S6, AP-1 and D3 Damage.

Prosperine khopesh
4 Attacks, Hitting on 2+, S5, AP-2 and 2 Damage.

Abilities

Deep Strike, Scout 6"

Arcane Shield

Just like a Space Marine Librarian, he gives his unit a 4+ Invul save.

Rebind Rubricae

With this ability, While leading a unit he has a chance to repair his unit.

Roll a D6.
On a 1 the unit takes D3 mortal wounds (a backfire)
On a 2-5 return 1 destroyed model
On a 6 return 2 destroyed models.

Thoughts

It is a pricey character at 100pts, but he adds decent shooting to a unit and massive defensive buffs with the invul and returning the dead Thousand Sons to the unit.

I feel that most Thousand Sons players would be running at least one of them in their army, if not two, to safe-guard some Battle Line units to take objectives.
